Public Service Video Contest for DC Public School Kids

I like this idea a lot: the Office of Personnel Management has challenged DC Public Schools kids in grades 9-12 to come up with videos promoting work in public service for Public Service Recognition Week. The winners will get their videos played on the Mall. I teach some writing classes to kids in the public schools here, and though they don't always have a ton of resources, they are invariably fun, smart, and creative. This should produce some good entries. And it's a nice way to encourage kids to develop useful job skills in video production and editing.
